Hello together, I'm looking for options to repair the door locks in my J6 - currently I can open/close them with whatever I have in my hand. The ignition lock is working fine, the tailgate can be opened only with the right key (but can be closed with anything). There are some options with...

Hello, I've got a strange issue with my J100 (2004) today - the car was locked and after a while I've heard the siren from the alarm system inside the car. Opening/closing the doors, starting the engine etc didn't help - I've disconnected the batteries and once I've connected them again the...

Since Russia invaded Ukraine three weeks ago I'm driving from Germany to Ukrainian border, bringing medicines, medical supplies, equipment, sleeping bags and yoga mats for those whose homes have been demolished, some food for cats and dogs (for those pets, who are left in Ukraine), some clothes...

Mine looks same and I'd say it was a big mistake to buy it. It still drives well, but whenever I need to do something under the car - 4 of 5 screws break. Yeah, it's possible to sandblast etc, to make it look good - but the problem would still exist. Also the problem would be with AHC - I've...

I've disconnected the front doors and tailgate completely, but the issue is still there. Sometimes it starts to lock-unlock-lock-... for more than 10 times. If I insert the key to ignition (do not turn it, just insert) and close the driver door (actually I just press the door contact, even not...

Hi together, I'm a bit lost, what's wrong with the car and where to start searching for the bug: the car attempts to lock itself on its own. Mostly it happens when I turn off the engine, sometimes when I start it. It almost doesn't happen during the driving. If the car is closed, and I'm out of...

A short update: 1. I'm unable to unscrew the old globes. Everything is rusty and doesn't move. 2. I've tried again the graduation test (still with old globes) - get 12 graduations from H to L and vice versa. 3. Did a check with techstream. Anything suspicious here? 1.4mm is 0,05", precise enough...

Thanks a lot, I'll try with new globes!

Well, no more puzzle, the globes need to be replaced (or maybe together with the whole suspension, or maybe with the car together). Today's test shows 7 grades, no matter L to H or vice versa. The reason why it was 12 or more yesterday is simple: the nitrogen was still in the system, located in...

Guys, I've done a lot of searching, but still can't understand where the failure is. LC 2004, with VGRS and AHC. Couple of weeks ago I realised, that the car drives very rough. That's not my daily driver, so maybe the issue progressed longer ago and I just didn't pay attention to it. Anyway, it...

@SierraWheeler, nice switching panel for the lights. Do you have a link for it, or at least who's producing it?

What have I done to my J10 last week? Lost the key in the sea :( Visited officials today, new key costs really a lot (approx. 250$)

Finally kicked out the Android 10" System, returned back to stock Display and climate controls. Thrown away the stock navi (it wasn't working anymore) and stock amp, replaced it with a JBL amp. Removed the stock Audio system, replaced with an Alpine out from my previous J95. Alpine HU + JBL amp...

Well.. looks like the Nav.unit is broken. I have tested with the external display from the VDO system - and can see the same behaviour and same defects in the picture. I've used a heat gun and heated the navigation unit board - the artifacts are mostly gone, the picture is more or less clear...

Great, thanks! I've downloaded the doc, will test on weekend. Alternatively I've found an old display M5000 used in VDO Navigation systems long ago - it should be theoretically able to display this RGBs signal coming out of the Navi unit - will give it a try also.
